This could be a very important initial battle between the two coaches. I'm glad we got the offer out there first!
I was hoping Iowa would wait to extend a scholarship offer, this really worries me. It's close to his home and they have wide open PT. I don't think ISU's future really hinges on getting him, but it'd be nice to set a precident of getting the best kids out of Iowa.

The thing that sux for ISU's chances is that weve just brought in 4 guards this year and already have another PG committed for the same year as Gibbs. Is he good friends with Gatens from IC that already committed to Iowa? im sure Liksnatcher will sell him on the idea of playing time right away at Iowa.
I don't think the kid is like Stinnett. Maybe he thinks he can win playing time instead of just having it handed to him. Also why would a kid be dumb enought to think that just because he got playing time when he was a freshman that he would never have to compete for that job. Everyone get's recruited over top of. Gibbs would have just as good of shot as a Cyclone then he would a Hawkeye.
I don't know, I would consider the copious amount of playing time available at Iowa and the fact that his AAU teammate in Gatens is going to Iowa to be a pretty good draw. If he doesn't come to ISU over Iowa I wouldn't blame him.
Well, unless he wants to win championships, then he better come to ISU.

"Also, the assessment of where things stand with Gibbs is off the mark according to our sources. Right now he is down to four schools that he is seriously considering: Wisconsin, Iowa, ISU, and UNI. Iowa and Wisconsin are slightly ahead of the other two at this point. No clear leader."

That doesn't really surprise me with all the guards we've picked up lately. I haven't seen him play, along with the other guards we have so I can't compare them to one another. But I'm really not upset that we may not get him. I'd be a little more upset if he were a PF or a Center.
I would hate to see another great Iowa kid get snatched up by Wisconsin though.
I'd love to see him go to Wisconsin if we can't get him, I'd hate to have to actually play him if he's as good as advertised.
Honestly though, I kind of agree with you. I still think the immediate needs of the program center around getting big guys especially with the 6 guards we already have committed for the next 2 years. Plus, I really like everything I've heard about Buckley.
